Criminal justice clients in Whitelaw often end up in drug rehabilitation facilities due to the fact they were convicted of drug related crimes, whether they were selling drugs or were in the possession of or found to be high on drugs. Many courts put these criminal persons into the alcohol and drug rehabilitation system because they consider that rehabilitating them is more productive for the culture at large and for the person, rather than sending them in jail with no treatment at all. This has been verified to be very successful not only in healing and rehabilitating these criminal justice clients in Whitelaw, but also in keeping them sober and in a number of cases away from the criminal justice system once and for all.
